Fiji is highly likely to face New Zealand in the semifinal of the 2020 Hamilton 7s tournament.
This is if the national side wins all three of their pool matches and qualifies for the semifinal.
In the second semifinal, South Africa will likely face France if both teams manage to qualify for the semifinal.
Although the quarter-final stages has been removed from the tournament, point’s allocation remains the same.
On the other hand, former Fiji 7s player Sireli Bobo has also highlighted some of the things the team needs to work on.
“You know the nation expects them to do well in the two tournaments, but I do believe that it’s the starting of the series. I think maybe they will learn from their mistakes, and they will do better in this upcoming Hamilton 7s.”
Fiji will take on Samoa in their first match of the Hamilton 7s tournament this Saturday at 12.47pm.
Fiji’s last encounter with Samoa in the London 7s tournament last year ended in the national side’s favor where they defeated the Gordon Tietjens led side 26-17.
Fiji will then face Australia at 6.35pm on the same day and will take on Argentina at 11.57am on Sunday in their final pool match.
You can watch the Hamilton 7s live on FBC TV and FBC Sports.
